Chiapas, seguridad y turismo

Chiapas, one of Mexico's richest states in culture and biodiversity, has recently come under the spotlight due to security issues.

The Current Situation

According to recent reports, the Employers' Confederation of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) has highlighted that there is a black figure of unreported crimes of up to 90.5 percent. This figure, although alarming, should not be interpreted as a complete reflection of the security situation in Chiapas, since it may also indicate a lack of confidence in the institutions in charge of security and justice.

Chiapa de Corzo is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in the state of Chiapas, located just 15 minutes from the capital, Tuxtla Gutiérrez. Its value lies in its rich history, which dates back to pre-Hispanic times, when it was inhabited by various indigenous groups, including the Chiapanecas, who fiercely resisted the Spanish conquest and preferred to commit suicide rather than be dominated.
